    Processing E-4

    Can a lab cross process Ektachrome -X in C-41 or slide film chemicals? I have an old roll that I'd be curious to see what's on it.

    I have not heard good things about Rocky Mountain. I was just hoping for an option closer to home that wouldn't cost me an arm an a leg.

    I used to run a lab with an E-6 processor, and I remember that E-4 cannot be processed in E-6 chemistry under ANY circumstances; I believe that the processing temperature of E-6 was higher and the E-4 emulsion would just melt right off. I think that C-41 would not work either, for the same reason.

    There must be a way to process it, though, I'm just not sure what that would be.

    I've read that e-4 can be processed in B&W chemicals, though I do not know the specifics.
